US President Donald Trump has asserted that his intervention helped defuse a potentially catastrophic situation between India and Pakistan. He claimed the conflict between the two nuclear-armed nations could have led to millions of deaths, but was resolved swiftly. Praising the leadership of both countries, Trump said his priority was to prevent large-scale loss of life. His remarks have reignited discussions around the role of global powers in South Asian conflicts and the sensitivity surrounding nuclear tensions in the region.
